That code means the TFT (Transmission Fluid Temperature) sensor read over 270°F. If the trans didn't really get that hot it means the sensor is starting to fail. As long as you have a gauge I'd ignore this until it does it more often. For now clear the code and see if it comes back.

Mark I have a gauge and a scangauge and they both are within 2-3* of each other. Where is the temp sensor at? Is there anyway to teat it?

The sensor is inside the pan. The best way to test it is to watch what it's reading on the Scangauge.
